• Corliss Archer : Dexter, you weren't with me tonight.

  Dexter Franklin : Huh?

  Corliss Archer : Well, there's no point in having Daddy tear you into little pieces. You know his temper.

  Dexter Franklin : What are you going to tell him?

  Corliss Archer : Oh, I'll think of something. Just remember, no matter what, you weren't with me tonight.

  Dexter Franklin : I can't do it. I can't let you take the rap.

  Corliss Archer : Oh, I'll figure out a story.

  Dexter Franklin : When?

  Corliss Archer : Oh, I don't know. Give me a minute to think! Oh, my mind's an absolute blank.

  Dexter Franklin : If it isn't a blank now, it will be when your old man gets through with you.

  Corliss Archer : Dexter! Not when he gets through, before he starts.

  Dexter Franklin : Huh?

  Corliss Archer : My mind's a blank. I can't remember anything. I've got amnesia, like in the movie.

  Dexter Franklin : It might work.

  Corliss Archer : Oh, it's gotta work. But Dexter, you must remember, no matter what happens, no matter what I say or do, you weren't with me tonight!

  Dexter Franklin : I weren't with you tonight.

  Corliss Archer : Wish me luck.

  Mrs. Janet Archer : Do you mind, Dexter, we're awfully busy.

  Dexter Franklin : But you promised to talk to me about the blackmail today.

  Harry P. Archer : At this moment there is nothing in the world I'd be willing to talk to you about. Now get out!

  Dexter Franklin : Holy cow!
